Fig. 6 — Survey responses in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states compared to the rest of Brazil. Representative sample of survey results divided by geographic areas of Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro (SP & RJ) compared to the rest of Brazil from people with epilepsy, caregivers, and health care workers (HCW). Sao Paulo (SP) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ) were grouped to reflect areas of high COVID-19 disease burden compared to the rest of the country. Responses from the people with epilepsy survey (A-C), caregivers (D) and HCW (E) show no notable difference in responses between SP & RJ combined compared to the rest of Brazil. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the geographic categories based on χ2-testing (P > 0.05) in each of these survey questions. This suggests the effect of COVID-19 on epilepsy was not directly related to virus incidence and mortality during the time of the survey.
